Most recommend that you remove the cylinder head to install them. I don't think that it's necessary when the head is aluminum.

i think this is the most idiotic thing i have every heard. you are going to tap new threads while the cylinder head is still on the car? no no no sir i disagree with this very much. at this point it is not a chance of introducing a foreign object into the combustion chamber, it is a pure certainty. if you havent destroyed something yet you are lucky if you are doing things like this
